Teams practice two or three times per week with competitive games on Sundays and occasionally on Saturday. The grade groups are:

There are several potential levels of play. Leagues are placed into levels by Northern Virginia Youth Lacrosse League (NVYLL) Brigade's parent organization. Placement is based on the size of each league / number of teams fielded. We have an opportunity to try and make requests, which may or may not be approved by the NVYLL. Levels of play are: AAA, AA, A, Upper B, Lower B.
A to AAA are for experienced players, many having club as well as rec experience.
Upper B and Lower B are for intermediate to newer players.
